talents

Not everyone can sing,
carry a tune, or dance
to beat the band, or play
the piano with such grace
and ease as to bring tears
to those who listen. Not
everyone has the ability
to write a book, to tell
a story, or create a poem
that will live through
the ages. Not everyone
will get the applause from
an adoring public,
when he paints on canvas
with the talent he is blessed
with, but it doesn't matter.
It won't stop us from trying.
